New Sketchbook!

Monday, January 11th, 2010

This morning I worked on

a new sketchbook for Mark

since he only has a few empty pages left

in the last sketchbook that I made him.

. . .

It’s always fun picking out paper and book cloth

for these types of projects,

and it makes for a nice change of pace.

. . .

Here are some images of the finished book.

The endpapers are a gorgeous yellow patterned paper

that I recently ordered

from Smock.

They do some beautiful work.
